Beige Adipose Tissue Identification and Marker Specificity—Overview
Adipose tissue (AT) is classified based on its location, physiological and functional characteristics. Although there is a clear demarcation of anatomical and molecular features specific to white (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT), the factors that ...

Adipose tissue macrophages: their role in adipose tissue remodeling [PDF]
Abstract This review summarizes the role of macrophages in adipose tissue remodeling, particularly focusing on the paracrine loop between adipocytes and macrophages. The adipose tissue secretes a large number of bioactive substances, adipocytokines, which may be involved in a variety of physiologic and pathologic processes.

Adipose tissue is a metabolic organ that plays a central role in controlling systemic energy homeostasis. Compelling evidence indicates that immune system is closely linked to healthy physiologic functions and pathologic dysfunction of adipose tissue. In

White adipose tissue dysfunction in obesity and aging.
Both obesity and aging are associated with the development of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Chronic low-grade inflammation of adipose tissue is one of the mechanisms implicated in the progression of these diseases.

LLC tumor cells-derivated factors reduces adipogenesis in co-culture system
Cancer cachexia (CC) is a multifactorial syndrome with an unknown etiology. The primary symptom is the progressive reduction of the body weight. Recently, down-regulation of adipogenic and lipogenic genes were demonstrated to be early affected during ...

Macrophage VLDLR mediates obesity-induced insulin resistance with adipose tissue inflammation
VLDLR regulates cellular lipoprotein uptake and storage. Here, the authors show that VLDLR, expressed on adipose tissue macrophages, is upregulated in obesity and promotes adipose tissue inflammation by upregulating ceramide production and facilitating ...

The clock protein Cry regulates hepatic glucose metabolism. Here the authors show that SREBP1c, activated by insulin signalling after feeding, directly regulates Cry transcription at specific circadian time points, and that Cry represses hepatic glucose ...
